starbarista catches up with Gilda Doganiero of Gilda's Biscotti. She has been dedicated to the art of baking traditional biscotti for the last 13 years since leaving her job as a pastry chef at Philadelphia's Four Seasons Hotel. In this podcast Gilda tells us about the origins of this noble Italian cookie as well as the story of how she started her company. (In the photo to the left Gilda is holding a tray of her lemon fig biscotti.) I would love to hear what you think of this podcast - so please leave your comments below.

His professional experience with coffee began in the early '90s in Albuquerque, New Mexico at EJ's Coffee House. He then moved on to Philadelphia where he worked as a barista for three years at the Last Drop Coffee House.
The experiences and friends he gathered during these formative years have contributed to his belief in the community building powers of the coffee shop.
This blog is an attempt to document this community on a global level by telling the stories of the people involved in all aspects of cafe and coffee culture.
